Filipinos, Strong as a Bamboo

     No one knows when, where and in what time the disaster may happen. That is why every individual should be prepared anytime. Disasters are one of the most fearing problem of every person. It has many negative effects on the environment, and even on us. It destroy your homes, the different establishment, and most of all it can destroy the life you build. 

     During this past few years, Philippines have been prone to super typhoons and other types of disaster. One of the most destructive typhoons that the Philippines had experienced is the super typhoon Yolanda. Yolanda is one of the most powerful typhoon to have made a landfall in record history. It happened last November 2013. Thousands of people were injured and killed. Millions of homes were destroyed. And also, many people went missing and until today, they are not yet found. The most damaged place that the typhoon hit is in the City of Tacloban in Leyte. After the typhoon, many people suffered fro, grief for their loved ones died. Many people were sad and lost for their homes and lives were shattered. They was devastated. Their life was at danger. 

     Standing again after facing and experiencing such   destructive  disaster is very hard. But still, each and everyone of us must always be remain strong and brave. Unity is one of it's key. Everyone of us needs to help each other in order to recover form the great loss and to rebuild the wrecked lives. Days will pass, the tragic events that happened will remain as memories.As of 2018, the victims of the typhoon happened are still recovering and rebuilding their homes. The improvement now is that they are now smiling for they believe that being weak and hopeless is not an option. 

    Filipinos are like bamboos. Whatever disaster come, we will bend wherever the wind takes us. For every Filipino is as strong as bamboos. We will never let the defeat take us. We may fall but still, we bravely ,manage to stand on our feet again and be 10 times stronger than what we were yesterday. Million people adore the Filipinos when it comes to being resilient on disasters. For even if our homes were wrecked by many extravagant disasters, we still smile and start a new one. Always remember that after the storm there will always be a rainbow.

Reflection

It was June when we started discussing the lessons that are required in ICT. We've learned about the history of the internet, the different internet pioneers, the philippine internet architectures. Then about the web browsers, search engines, The URL, the 3 types of multimedia, and many more. We also talked about what is blog, the different kinds of blogs and etc. These are just some of the lessons we discussed. There were problems that I have encountered in making blogs. One of it is about making a gmail. When I was in elementary, we were told by the teacher to make a gmail. Of course I was a child back then, i didnt know the use and the important of the gmail. I had so many gmail accounts. All of my names were used. I didnt know what to use. I thought of a way to make an another account and then I realized, I will just put my first name and my last name and add iam. I got so nervous because if this email will not be accepted, I will not know what email i am going to use. But then, the email got accepted! I was so happy back then and i feel relieved. Moving on, i will listen very well and attentively on our teacher. I will study hard on the subject and try my best to pass.

Filipino: Wika Ng Saliksik

     Tuwing buwan ng agosto ay nagaganap ang "Buwan ng Wika". Ginaganap ito para mabigyang kaalaman ang mga taong wala pang masyadong alam sa Ating wika at upang mabigyang pansin ang wika natin sapagkat marami na sa atin ang nakakalimot na gamitin ito. Sa kadahilanang mas ginugusto nating gamitin Ang mga ibat ibang wika ng mga ibang bansa at binavalewala na lang natin ito.

Ang tema ng Buwan ng wika ngayong taong 2018 ay "Filipino: wika ng saliksik". Ito ang napiling tema dahil ninanais ng KFW o ang komisyon sa wikang filipino na kilalanin ang wikanh filipino bilang midyum sa paglikha at pagpapalaganap ng pambansang karunungan at kaunlaran.

Ang mga millenials ngayon, ay palagi nang gumagamit ng mga ibat ibang pansaliksik tulad ng google. Ang google na ito ay karaniwang nasa ingles na lengwahe ngunit mayroon din itong filipino. Ang mga kabataan ngayon at mas ginugusto nang magsaliksik gamit ang ingles na lengwahe dahil ito na ang nakaready na lengwahe nito. Nakakalimutan na nila ang ating wika. Sa mga pagsulat ng mga takdang aralin, sa mga pagsulat sa mga libro ay karamihan ng gamit ay ang wikang ingles na siyang di naman sa atin. Nauunawaan ko na ang wikang ingles ay pang unibersal na lengwahe ngunit nararapat din na ating gamitin ang sariling atin lalong lalo na pag nasa bansa ka naman.

Sariling wika natin ay ating gamitin at pahalagahan. Wag natin balewalain kundi ito ay ating isapuso at isaisip. Wikang Filipino Wika ng Saliksik!

SONA 2018: Road to Change

               The state of the nation address (SONA) or the Talumpati sa Kalagayan ng Bansa is an annual address by the president of the Philippines to a joint session of the Congress of the Philippines. Mandated by this 1987 constitution, the speech or the SONA is delivered every July.

               

                SONA serves as a means to inform the nation about its present economic, political, and social condition. It is also where the President summarizes his/her accomplishment and plans for his/her program of government both for a particular year and until the end of their term of office.

                Last Monday (July 23, 2018 ), President Rodrigo “Roa” Duterte, the current President of the Philippines delivered his third SONA. In his SONA, he mentioned about the different problem our country is currently facing. One of these are the war on drugs. War on drugs is a series of actions tending toward a prohibition of illegal drug trade. It is adopted by the US government to end the import, manufacture, sale and use of illegal drugs. “The war on drugs will not be side-lined. It will be a relentless and chilly if you will, as on the day it began.”

                Another topic is the corruption. Corruption is the dishonest or illegal behavior a person especially by the powerful people such as government officials.  Corruption is not a new issue in our country. “Corruption must STOP!”

                Health is very important as the saying goes “HEALTH IS WEALTH”. They are currently institutionalizing the implementation of No Billing Policy. He also said that there are more things that is needed to be done to improve health care system. “I urge speedy passage of universal health care bill”

                Human right is very important also. If human right is well-respected, all follows.  It must be one of the President’s priorities. Duterte said that human right to him means giving Filipinos a different future to have better lives. Nowadays, many people is not achieving their rights as a human because someone is not letting them have the right on every individual. “Your concern is human rights, mine is human lives”

                The other topics that had been mentioned is about the Mindanao, International relation, migrant workers, contractualization, and etc. We all expect that this plans/program that had been discussed will surely be done. You must walk your talk. With great power comes great responsibility as what Spiderman have said. “I will not bore you with a list of projects completed. Daghang salamat.”
